Mr Justice Maurice Kay
Human Rights, Information, Elections
The claimant requested the defendant authority to remove his details from the electoral register before it was sold on to third parties. They refused. He claimed that the information had been obtained from him under penalty of criminal charges, and that to sell it on was an interference with his right to a private and family life. Held: The sale of the material was in breach of the applicant's rights. Data from the registers was collected under force of law. The sale of the register affected electors as marketing targets and the interference with their private lives, exacerbated by technological advances, was both foreseeable and foreseen. The right to vote was lost if the information was not provided.
